Sometimes he wakes up a bit, but I'd rather he continue the sleep in his crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-in-the-car#post-62306 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:13:16 +0000 Boogs 62306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is still in his infant seat, so I carry him in that and usually hope he stays asleep unless it's bedtime. If I'm out shopping and I'm with someone else, I leave him in the car with them so I can just run in really quick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-in-the-car#post-62294 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:49:30 +0000 mrs. wagon 62294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have probably spent a few DAYS of my life in the car while RJ was napping. Maybe WEEKS. Thank God for smartphones and car chargers! I'd also keep snacks and magazines in the passenger seat. I always wished there was a drive-thru where you could text in your order and CC number, and they'd silently hand you your food at the window. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-in-the-car#post-61960 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 20:34:36 +0000 heffalump 61960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo is still in an infant seat so we carry her in. Otherwise id wait for her to wake up, naps are important! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-in-the-car#post-61921 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 19:55:50 +0000 chopsuey 61921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: We used to carry her in when she was still in her infant seat. Now she's in a convertible so it's either wait it out or wake her.<br /> Luckily we've had a really mild winter! 61 degrees today :) Plus we were in the garage :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-in-the-car#post-61918 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 19:54:23 +0000 Rubies 61918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I carry her in and hope she stays asleep. But, most of the time she wakes up. I can't really sit in the car because it's Toronto and winter. LOL...It's too cold! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-in-the-car#post-61887 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 18:14:57 +0000 Andrea 61887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually wait unless it is really close to bedtime. The transfer thing never works for us. She wakes up every time, except for when she was small and still in the infant seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-in-the-car#post-61871 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 17:05:16 +0000 sulli301 61871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends! I've sat in the car before but usually I try to get her in still sleeping if possible....I've been successful a couple times but not many ;P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sitting-in-the-car#post-61866 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 16:56:30 +0000 chopsuey 61866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO fell asleep on our way back from the market.. Blah. It's almost her bedtime! I'm sitting in the car with her until she wakes..<br /> I probably should have woken her as soon as we got home, but she's been super cranky and tired lately.</p> <p>Do you wake your baby when you get Home or do you wait until they wake? </p>
